Description

Technical Field

[0001] The field of agricultural plant pathology and plant protection technology, particularly a root knot fungus gene Pb034 Application in preventing and controlling clubroot disease in cruciferous crops. Background Art

[0002] Cruciferous crops, including rapeseed, cabbage, kale, radish, mustard, etc., play an important role in global agriculture and are an important part of the human food supply chain and agricultural economy. Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin Clubroot, caused by the common thorny disease (Chronic Kernel Soil), can harm nearly all cruciferous crops. Clubroot causes root enlargement, deformity, and rot, severely impairing the crop's ability to absorb water and nutrients, ultimately leading to premature plant failure, reduced yields, and even total crop failure. Currently, over 3.2 million hectares of land in my country are affected annually, accounting for over one-third of the cruciferous crop planting area. Yield losses average 20-30%, and in severely affected fields, total crop failure can occur, resulting in tens of billions of yuan in economic losses annually.

[0003] Existing control methods, such as chemical and biological control, and the breeding of disease-resistant varieties, all have significant limitations. Long-term use of chemical pesticides can lead to resistance and environmental pollution. Biological control methods are limited by environmental conditions, and the effectiveness of disease-resistant varieties is limited by the rapid evolution of pathogens. Therefore, the development of new technologies for clubroot control is imperative.

[0004] RNA interference (RNAi) is an evolutionarily conserved gene silencing mechanism mediated by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). It specifically degrades complementary messenger RNA (mRNA) to inhibit target gene expression. In recent years, the application of RNAi technology in plant disease control has rapidly developed, particularly with strategies such as host-induced gene silencing (HIGS) and spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS). Because these methods can specifically silence pathogen genes, they can avoid harm to beneficial insects or soil microorganisms caused by broad-spectrum pesticides. Furthermore, HIGS is endogenously expressed, allowing plants to continuously produce dsRNA, unaffected by ultraviolet light and rainfall. This eliminates the need for frequent external pesticide applications, slowing the development of resistance. Furthermore, RNA molecules are easily degraded by the natural environment, eliminating the risk of chemical residues. Due to these advantages, RNAi has become a key area of ​​focus for green pesticides and precision breeding. Summary of the Invention

[0025] Example 1 Plasmodium gene Pb034 Highly expressed at all infection stages To explore the genes of Pb034 The biological function of the gene and its potential application value in disease prevention and control were systematically analyzed in this study based on transcriptome data. The root knot fungus strain used was the physiological race 4 collected from Jishou City, Hunan Province. Two-week-old Arabidopsis seedlings were used as materials, and the concentration was 10 6 The roots were inoculated with a suspension of resting spores of Rhizoctonia solani containing 100 dormant spores / strain to ensure the consistency and repeatability of infection. Sample collection covered all key stages of Rhizoctonia solani infection, including resting spores (RS), mid primary (MP), initial secondary (IS), mid secondary (MS) and late secondary (LS). The results showed that the root cells of Arabidopsis thaliana Pb034 The gene expression was continuously up-regulated during the infection process of root knot fungus, and was significantly enhanced at the end of the secondary infection ( Figure 1), suggesting that this gene may play a key role in the establishment of infection and progression of root knot fungus. This discovery provides a basis for in-depth analysis of Pb034 This study laid the foundation for its functional mechanism and its use as a potential target for disease prevention and control.

[0026] Further protein sequence and structural annotation revealed that the protein is an α-1,2-mannosyltransferase with a typical Glyco_transf_15 domain, suggesting that it may participate in the pathogenic process by modifying cell wall components. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the pLDDT (predicted Local Distance Difference Test) score indicates the confidence of each amino acid residue in the predicted protein structure, ranging from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a more reliable structure. The 88.46 shown in the figure is the average confidence score for all residues.

[0027] Example 2 Targeted silencing based on host-induced gene silencing (HIGS) technology Pb034 The transgenic plants showed significantly enhanced resistance to clubroot disease To verify Pb034 The disease control potential of this embodiment is to construct a targeted silencing Pb034 The original vector of the silencing expression vector is the pBI121Bar-RNAi vector stored in our laboratory, and its host bacteria is Escherichia coli. Figure 3 See Figure 4 , Pb034 The gene silencing vector construction process specifically includes: using the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1 as a template, using the primer pair shown in SEQ ID NO.2-3 to amplify the target fragment S1; using BamHI to cut the PBI121Bar-RNAi vector to obtain a linearized vector; homologously recombining the target fragment S1 and the linearized vector PBI121Bar-RNAi to obtain a recombinant vector PBI121Bar-RNAi-S1; using the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1 as a template, using the primer pair shown in SEQ ID NO.4-5 to amplify the target fragment S2; using Sac I to cut the recombinant vector PBI121Bar-RNAi-S1 to obtain a linearized vector; homologously recombining the target fragment S2 and the linearized vector PBI121Bar-RNAi-S1 to obtain Pb034 Gene silencing vector.

[0031] By inflorescence dipping method Pb034 The gene silencing vector was used to transform Columbia-0 Arabidopsis thaliana. Transgenic plants were screened for the herbicide resistance gene (bar) carried by the vector. Harvested Arabidopsis seeds were evenly sown in 10 cm × 20 cm bread boxes and grown under artificial light for one week before the first herbicide screening. 80 µL of 10% glufosinate ammonium dissolved in 500 mL of deionized water was shaken and evenly sprayed onto the plant leaves using a spray bottle, ensuring complete wetting. The spraying was repeated one week later; surviving plants were designated as T1 transgenic plants. The T2 generation screening procedure was essentially the same, except that seeds were sown in small pots for cultivation. For T3 generation screening, to more accurately assess homozygosity of progeny, nine seeds were evenly sown in each pot and sprayed as described above. All surviving progeny were considered homozygous. Ultimately, two homozygous transgenic lines (L1 and L2) were successfully obtained.

[0032] After inoculation with a suspension of spores of six different physiological races of R. rufipogonidum, root samples were collected on the eighth day for qPCR. The specific experimental procedures were as follows: total RNA was extracted using Solarbio TriQuick Reagent (Cat. No. R1100), and genomic DNA contamination was removed with Beyotime DNase I (Cat. No. D7076). After RNA precipitation, the RNA was dissolved in RNase-free water (Beyotime, Cat. No. R0022). cDNA was synthesized using 5× TS RT-Mix (Cat. No. RT-010-100), reacted at 50°C for 15 minutes, and inactivated at 85°C for 5 seconds. qPCR was performed using NobleRyder 2× Universal SYBR qPCR Master Mix (Cat. No. FQ-PCR05-1). A 20 μL reaction system contained 10 μL of the premix, 0.4 μL of 10 μM forward / reverse primers (final primer concentration 0.2 μM), and 1–2 μL of cDNA template. The program was run on the 7500 instrument: pre-denaturation at 95°C for 30 seconds, followed by 40 cycles of denaturation at 95°C for 10 seconds / annealing and extension at 60°C for 30 seconds, and finally a melting curve was collected; the root knotweed actin gene was used as an internal reference gene, and the 2 -ΔΔCt Calculation Pb034 The relative expression level of the gene was determined to ensure that the melting curve showed a single peak and the amplification efficiency was between 90% and 110%.

[0033] Analysis confirmed that transgenic plants Pb034 Gene expression was significantly downregulated ( Figure 5 (A in the middle), the primers used to verify the expression are shown in SEQ ID NO.10-11.

[0034] Pb034-F: GGCAAACCTTCATGGCGAAC (SEQ ID NO. 10); Pb034-R: GGTGATGACGACGGTATGCA (SEQ ID NO. 11).

[0035] The disease index is investigated as follows: 30 days after inoculation with clubroot, Arabidopsis plants are uprooted, the roots are cleaned under running water, and the disease is surveyed. The number of diseased plants and the disease grade are counted, and the incidence rate and disease index are calculated. The disease index is calculated as follows: Disease index = ∑ (number of diseased plants at each grade × number of corresponding grades) / (total number of plants × 3) × 100. Clubroot disease is graded on a scale of 0-3: Grade 0: Normal root system with no disease symptoms; Grade 1: No clubroot on the taproot; a few small tumors form on less than 1 / 3 of the lateral roots; Grade 2: Clubroot forms on the taproot or tumors form on 1 / 3-2 / 3 of the lateral roots; Grade 3: Large tumors form on the taproot and more than 2 / 3 of the lateral roots.

[0036] The results showed that the root swelling of the transgenic lines ( Figure 5 Middle B) and disease index (after t test) ( Figure 5 Figure C) was significantly lower than that of the control group, indicating that the targeted Pb034 The HIGS technology can give plants the ability to resist clubroot. This result is the first time to verify at the functional level Pb034 feasibility as a key target for disease control.

[0037] Example 3 External application of silencing Pb034 dsRNA significantly enhances plant clubroot resistance To verify whether double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) targeting Pb034 has the effect of preventing and controlling clubroot disease, the T7RNAi in vitro transcription system (Nanjing Novozymes Biotech Co., Ltd.) was used to synthesize the target Pb034 The dsRNA (sequences are shown in SEQ ID NOs. 6-7), and the primer sequences used for in vitro transcription synthesis of dsRNA are shown in SEQ ID NOs. 8-9. The sequences involved are as follows: dsRNA-F: TAATACGACTCACTATAGGGCGTGAACCTCATGCGACGTA (SEQ ID NO.8); dsRNA-R: CCCTATAGTGAGTCGTATTACTGGCATCTCATCGTCCAGG (SEQ ID NO.9); Under artificial light culture conditions, 1 mL of 1×10 6 / mL of a spore suspension of Physiological Rhizoctonia solani No. 4 from Jishou, Hunan. The dsRNA solution was prepared in RNase-free H2O to a final concentration of 40 nmol / L. Amino-modified dendritic macroporous silica nanomaterials (Cat. No. 778949) were added to a final concentration of 0.5 mg / mL, along with an RNase inhibitor (RNaseOUT™, Cat. No. 10777019) to a final concentration of 1 U / μL. The solution was allowed to stand on ice for 30 minutes before use. Mix thoroughly before application. Using a pipette, 1 mL of the solution was slowly dripped onto the roots of each Arabidopsis plant. The dsRNA solution was applied three times: on days 2, 4, and 6 after inoculation with the Rhizoctonia solani. A blank control group was maintained.

[0038] The experimental results showed that 8 days after inoculation with root knot fungus, Pb034 The gene expression level decreased by 54.6% compared with the control group ( Figure 6 Figure A); 25 days after inoculation, the root sentiment index and root knotweed biomass of the treated Arabidopsis thaliana decreased by 65.7% and 53.4%, respectively ( Figure 6 Middle B picture, Figure 6 The above results indicate that exogenous administration of targeted Pb034 The dsRNA can effectively silence key genes of pathogens, significantly inhibit the infection process of root-knot fungus, and has good prevention and control potential.

[0039] In summary, the present invention has verified for the first time from a functional level Pb034 Feasibility as a key target for disease prevention and control. Pb034 The dsRNA can effectively block the infection process of root knot fungus by specifically silencing key pathogen genes. It demonstrates promising potential for field application and provides an innovative technical path for the development of environmentally friendly RNA biopesticides.
